   I have zero experience with native app dev but I'm considering learning how. Learning #vala and working with the dev tools on @elementary looks appealing and relatively beginner friendly.

   I'm wondering what the approach is to create apps with these tools that integrate well into #ElementaryOS but also into other DEs like #Gnome as well? Is making apps cross DE about whether / how you use the Granite libs?

   I don't have any frame of reference so I'm curious.

      @kezzbracey @elementary Epiphany (GNOME Web) is set up to do this. IIRC at build time you provide which platform you are building for. In the code you make various changes (e.g. icons, css) based on the platform you ar building for. I'd take a look there for details.
